All About Ceramic Magnets

The ceramic magnet is the most popular material for making magnets. It is made by using powdered magnetic materials such as iron oxide and strontium carbonate. However, ferrites having a high magnetic absorption capacity are called ceramic magnet. It is also known as ferrite magnets. It has a stronger mass magnetic field as compared to iron. It usually appears in the shape of cubes, cylinders, motor arcs, etc. Hence, Due to its hard and brittle nature, they are commonly used for fridge magnets, loudspeakers, musical instruments, brakes, ornamental purposes, and so forth.

Ceramic Magnet

The Manufacturing Process of the Ceramic Magnets

1. The ceramic magnet is manufactured by using powder technology process.

2. Iron oxide and strontium carbonate are mixed together and then heated at temperature 1800 to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Due to this chemical process ferrite is produced.

3. And then the ferrite is reduced to the very small sized particle by using the wet milling method.

4. Then the milled powder is dried or injected into a die under large hydraulic pressure.

5. The wet powder is compacted in the presence of a magnetic field to remove the water after that sintering takes place at the temperature of 2000 degrees Fahrenheit approximately.

6. After sintering the material is fully dense and ready for grinding.

7. In the last, the grinding of ceramic magnets is done.

In the conclusion, the importance of ceramic magnets is increasing day by day in the industries. And with the increase in the number of technologies and researches the applications of it increases gradually under high temperature.
